This afternoon, IWGB Game Workers joined together with unions from all over Europe, including @stjv.fr and @csvi-cgt.bsky.social to protest against Rockstar's union busting in Paris - on est là!

Chris Bratt@chrisbratt.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Protests continued today outside Take Two's offices in London, but also in Paris, where Le Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (@stjv.fr) came out to show their international solidarity with the fired Rockstar workers.

The IWGB has just announced that 220 letters, signed by Rockstar staff, have now been delivered to leadership at the company, demanding the immediate reinstatement of their fired colleagues.

Over 200 Rockstar staff have written to management in support of unfairly fired union members. We have published more details on our website, although we have not yet released the exact contents of the letter: www.gameworkers.co.uk/rockstar-ope...

We won't back down - we will fight @rockstargames.com & @taketwointeractive.bsky.social for our members' reinstatement. No one should be fired for union activity. You can support our campaign here: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Rockstar: tries to bust unions🦹‍♀️ Us: Hold my controller 🎮🔥🔥 We're fighting back 💥💥 IWGB organized a protest in front of the @rockstargames.com parent company Take-Two Interactive in London today We'll make sure the credits are rolling on their corporate greed ❌️ @gameworkers.co.uk

What leaks?

NEW: Rockstar Games says the 30+ employees it fired last week were leaking confidential information, disputing allegations that the company is union-busting. The union says it was a private chat with labor organizers. This messy battle isn't over yet. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

PC Gamer@pcgamer.com · 10mo ago

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

people really wake up and put on their chelsea boots. and they walk around all day. in their gross little chelsea boots

I want worse games with shorter graphics

BREAKING There are reports that there has been a shooting at a Charlie Kirk/Turning Point USA event in Utah. It appears that Kirk may have been shot in the neck.

Did you know it's legal to say "an Elbit arms manufacturing plant in Bristol has closed its doors after months of targeting from Palestine Action". But it'd ILLEGAL to follow that with "what incredible work from those heroes". That'd be an offence under the Terrorism Act of 2000. Don't say that!

The load-bearing myth at the heart of UK politics is that the politicians and media are tolerant and decent and working people are knuckle-dragging bigots, but it's actually completely the other way around.

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.
